HPC/VORX is a computing system that provides closely coupled computing between large numbers of processors. It also supports the connection of many host workstations which may be geographically distributed within the area of a large building and allows a single applications to span many processors and many workstations. We relate some of the lessons that were learned while building and using HPC/VORX and in the transition to HPC/VORX from a smaller, less capable system. The problems that we encountered included difficulties in scaling resource managers and human interfaces to large numbers of processors, the design of communications primitives and protocols, and the implementation of programming abstractions.
